The X. OIL. Convention.

The Knights of Labor held convention
in Baltimore, on Monday, for the purpose of
agreeing upon laws in the interest of labor,
to be presented 10 the next Legislature.
A number of resolutions were presented,
from among which the committee on resolu-
tiOns found twenty-five distinct things which
they want the Legislature to pass. Among
them are the following:
The appointment of an inspector Of facto-
ries who shall be practical mechanic, famil
lar with bygienic laws and the practical
workings of factories.
The employment of children under the age
of 10 years in mills, factories, workshops and
mines 10 be prohibited.
That the hours of labor of men engaged in
mechanical and manual labor for the city or
State be reduced to eight
That the State and city tax sufficient of
the rental value of all bare lands to pay the
expense of State and city government and
abolish all taxes on the products of labor.
That the first Monday in September be de-
clared a legal holiday. That every Saturday
afternoon be declared half holiday, to be
known as Labor Day"
That we demand of the next Legislature
the calling of an early convention to draft
new constitution for the Stale of Maryland.
To prohibit the use of secondhand barrels
for flour.
To imprisou oil persons selling adultcrated
food.
To imprison all employers who compel
their employees TO sign paper not to join
any labor organization while in their en-
ploy.
A number of other suggestions were made,
chiefly in the interest of particular trades
The knights insisted that higher degree of
intelligence and independence should charac-
tcrize the men sent 10 the Legislature, and
no good citizen will find fault with them for
this. Legislatures are generally too subser-
Went to the rich and powerful and the mem
bers too intent upon their own aggrandze-
ment to look after the interests of the labor
ing and producing classes by whom the vot-
ing is done and who are forgotten as soon as
election day is over.
